Re: how can I configure word highlighting in VIM ?

I found this feature, long back in Notepad++. In that editor, if you select any word, it will highlight all occurrence of that word. It sometime helps to verify if at the line# 100 any variable I am using, it will confirm, if that was defined previously or not.

If you mean by searching, I suggest starting here:

http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Searching

See what it says (you know about "*"?), and scan down to the
"Highlighting search matches" link near the bottom. There are
also some search-without-moving ideas there somewhere.

To just highlight, see:

http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Highlight_multiple_words
